It was June of 1993, I was 9 years old and like most 9-year-old
little boys, I had a fascination with Dinosaurs. Studying every reptile from
the Carboniferous period to the Cretaceous Period, Dreaming to one day become a
paleontologist (not knowing the pay sucked).
So… making sure my parents took me to see the highly
anticipated Steven Spielberg flick; a film with revolutionary
Computer-generated imagery along with ILM Go-Motion techniques.
Based off a Michael Crichton Novel and secured by Universal
Pictures-, which included Producer Kathleen Kennedy, whom is now the CEO of Lucasfilm. The film grossed over $900 million worldwide and won three Academy
Awards- including Best Visual Effects.
Oh… did I forget to mention what film I’m raving about, well
it’s just something called:
Jurassic park (the first one) one of my all time favorite
films, gave me one my first shocks; when the Velociraptor poked its head out
from behind the electrical conduit at Dr. Ellie Sattler, played by Laura Dern. I
remember the genuine screams in that theater, what a rush that was. If only the
9 year olds of today could experience the joy and thrill of seeing their
favorite reptilian carnivores’ brought vividly to life as I did.
But wait they can; 20 years later, Steven Spielberg and
Universal Pictures have decided to release the Universal hit one more time in theaters,
but this time in 3D. Get ready to dip your hands into some Triceratops dung, the film will be re-released April 5, 2013. Yes its just
so they can milk millions off a smash hit one more time, by rendering it in 3D; but who
cares!
But that’s not all the news for JP fans, 21 years and two
days after the original films release, and 12 years 10 month and 27 days after
the last film release of the JP franchise; Universal and Spielberg are at it
again, releasing a fourth installment on June 13, 2014.
In Jurassic Park 4 like JP3, Spielberg will not be
directing, but producing alongside Kathleen Kennedy whom has helped produce
every film since the first. The film will be written by "I AM Legend" writer Mark Protosevich, but JP team is still working on who will be Directing this
mission, but all I can say is;
THIS FILM BETTER BE GOOD!
